The night cap saw the home team hold on for a 4-2 win with Luke Severson spinning a gem to get the win. Jeff Barber took the loss and had relief from brother Andy. Nick Ellis had several spectacular plays at shortstop to preserve the win for the Aces.
Kars got on the board with a pair in the third. After two strike outs, Cory Morrison hit an off hand slicing triple to left field. He scored on Ian King's infield hit. After King stole second, Nick Ellis hit a blooper to score him.
The Aces added another run in the fourth. Chad Milne reached on an error, moved to second on a ground out and scored on Brad Porter's second single of the night.
After Severson kept the Electric off balance for five innings, the visitors finally got a run in the sixth. Jeff Barber singled to start, followed by a Chris Costello single. Jeff Cavanagh's fielder's choice erased Barber at third. Jon Daley then hit a ball hard that looked like a possible double play, but a miscue allowed Costello to score and make it 3-1.
Kars responded with a run in their half of the sixth. Milne made it to second on a misplayed fly ball, got to third on a wild pitch and scored on Severson's squeeze bunt to put the Aces up 4-2.
It looked like the Electric might stage a comeback in the seventh. After the first two batters went down on strikes, the bats started going. Andy Barber tripled, followed by a Kevin Shonfield triple to halve the score. Jeff Barber then got walked putting runners on the corners. Costello then drove a ball hard up the middle, which looked like a sure hit, only to be robbed by shortstop Ellis whose diving stab and subsequent flip to second base ended the game for a 4-2 Kars win.
